Yes you mentioned your source. I forgot it, sorry. Anyway, my assumption of import is not based on an importer being a master with his own mark. A master could of course import to some extent but more seldom. He manufactured his products himself and marked them. The importers I refer to were dealers, traders, department stores, enterprices etc. They didn't have registered maker's marks. It is very well known that a lot of silver goods were imported from e.g, Germany in those days.
@Goldstein
Yes of course it is a correct import mark but that mark was implemented not earlier than in 1882. At that time Yashinov was dead and buried years ago. During the time period we are taking about there were no import marks i.e. before 1882. I already told you the import procedure at that time.
By the way what would be real cool is if you Goldstein stop nagging and as well stop get personal. I don't do that so don't you either.
